This is a must-try. I’m away from my audio server, but when I return on Monday I’ll give this a go.

Nice ads.

Yeah Japan loves smoking.

It just keeps getting worse.

I’d love to see how “simple” this actually is to use. Here’s hoping…

This is a level-headed summary of why it’s ok to continue to use Feedburner, and a recommendation for using the MyBrand service. Do it!
-
One of my favorite posts in a long time, especially the parts about cultural adaptation, the death of mom-and-pop stores.
-
My thoughts exactly, Tim.

Yeah, I highlight things on screen as well. I don’t know why, it’s just a habit. I’m breaking it because I spend a lot of time on NYTimes.com, but I do miss the olden days.

“Vicki Gowler would not rely on Rogers’ anonymous sources. Instead, she decided to investigate the widespread rumors that date to 1982, when Craig pre-emptively denied involvement in a gay sex scandal involving congressmen and underage pages.”

Whoh. Isn’t the solution just to devalue U.S. markets? It’s odd that the international community is arguing they should have oversight over U.S. markets, rather than just utilizing a market reaction…no?

This is a big deal, but not in the sense that Microsoft is responsible. It brings to light a new problem of what happens when a massive number of automated routines “exports” problems across the global network.

Diet Coke is 99% Water (And That Is Now a Good Thing) - Freakonomics - Opinion - New York Times Blog“So, in a world where free water is the benchmark, if you make Diet Coke, you want to hide the fact that it is mostly water with a few cheap extras mixed in. On the other hand, when water is priced the same as soda, that part of the equation falls away.”
-
Nice criticism.
-
Well that’s one way to do things.
-
Wow.
-
Doesn’t get any better than this.

Moyers is amazing.
iPhoto 2008 = Super-good
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007
While I was recovering from the long flight back from Japan on Monday, I wandered up to the Apple store to purchase one of those hot new keyboards (= FANTASTIC) and check out iLife 2008. I picked up a copy, imported my photos from the trip, and promptly got tired and left them there.
This morning, I decided to spend 15 minutes before work beginning to review and crop a few photos. I was delighted to learn that iPhoto 2008 is ridiculously fast, efficient, and yes, fun. I ended up getting through a good 30 photos before forcing myself to put down the mouse and head off to work.
iLife 2008 = highly recommend.

“Shouldn’t the relevant question here be whether the president committed high crimes and misdemeanors—grounds for impeachment under the constitution?” YES!

This article doesn’t seem to ask whether females are under-reporting, only that males are over-reporting.

“These guys say your payment will be $500 a month, but nowhere do they say that your actual payment is $3,000 a month. It should be criminal. The disclosures are usually complicated and people don’t know what hit them.” Fantastic quote!

I think he’s got bigger problems than his age, but maybe I’ve been out of touch for too long?

YAY for my little sister!!!! What a wonderful letter, Amy!
-
Centrism presumes that people don’t have conflicting views. That idea of bi-conceptualism is a powerful one.
-
The new hotness. I love mine already.
-
Yup. Portfolio sucks.
-
This one wins my favorite headline award for Gonzales’ depature.

“In retrospect, everyone should have been focusing less on how those methods were used to win elections and more on why they couldn’t deliver once the elections were over.” It doesn’t get summed up better than that.
This is gonna sound wacky…
Monday, August 27th, 2007…but for the last four days in Japan, all I wanted was to listen to B.B. King. So now I’m home, working through the jetlag, and listening to “Live at the Regal.”
I’m in Japan!
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007Hi there. I’m traveling in Japan from now until the end of August.

Holy sh*t this is bad. Though if anyone had been paying attention for the past 15-20 years, it’s not a surprise. China’s been waiting for years to gain this leverage over the U.S.

Packard Bell still exists?

Not sure I want to have random photos on my work screensaver, but this does look very cool. If I used Windows at home I’d use it.

This is a big deal. Consumers are going to start expecting online banking tools that far exceed what banks currently do. I think banks that do an exemplary job in this area can perhaps gain/retain some customers and cut down on acquisition and cs costs.
